[Samba] get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail

[Bill Szkotnicki]

I think that the problem is because there are records in certain files 
in /var/cache/samba
In particular these three:
wins.tdb
ntprinters.tdb
and
namelist.debug

What if I stopped samba, deleted those files, and then restarted.
Would that cause a problem for my users?
